it's worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt
So? its not stealing.
They are taking an artist work and reproducing it - changed slightly. If you did that to a Disney work (AI or not) would they consider it copyright or fair use?
Depends on what you are using it for.
"The general fair use definition is that fair use is any use of a work that is not done in an effort to profit from the copyrighted work."

AI companies are most certainly making an effort to profit from the content they're deriving from copyrighted works.
That's not sufficient alone
